[jQuery] IE6 only 'partially' updating html loaded via ajax

[jsw_nz]

I wanted to ask if anybody has a clue
why a function 'updatePageLinks()..
WORKS on all browsers on a standard page load,
BUT DOES NOT WORK (in IE6 only) after an ajax success call

here is the code (simplified to illustrate...):

initial page load:
******************************
$(document).ready(function() {
    updatePageLinks();
});


after ajax call:
*******************************************************
success: function (data) {
    updatePageLinks();
        ....etc

**************************************************
updatePageLinks() calls 2 operations..


function updatePageLinks(){
        // operation (1)
       $('a[href="#top"]').click(function(){
                scroll_top();
                return false;
        });
        // operation 2
        $('a[rel="paginate"]').click(function(){
                ajax_getPage_final('ajax_getPage.php',$
(this).attr("href").split('aid=')[1]);
                return false;
        });
};

(Both operations work in FF, OPERA and IE6)  in standard load (ie
hitting site for first time)
(Both operations (1)(2) work in FF, OPERA)  after ajax success event

*
BUT (Only ONE operation (2) works in IE6) - after ajax success event)

in other words IE is not updating on operation (1)
$('a[href="#top"]').click(function(){
                scroll_top();
                return false;
        });

and I am thinking this is a matter of scope but still doe not make
sense, since
<a href="#top">
is INSIDE the loaded html via ajax

pointers appreciated from any gurus out there....

cheers
